A system like that is very easy to counter. If residents are truly not the ones buying property, they can simply vote for stringent renters protection, and liberal squatting laws. That will quickly dry up the market for foreigners buying pr

Trees, on average, have a life span of a couple of decades. If we could capture all that carbon back by just re-growing trees for 10-20 years, we'd be fine. It's releasing over a period of 200 years the carbon accumulated through

When we talk about 250k in bank accounts being insured by the FDIC, what does that mean? If a bank went bankrupt, how fast would it take for me to get my 250k back from the government?
